Rhys Fulber was born in Vancouver, Canada on October 10, 1970. His father was born in Germany and his mother was from Great Britain. He was exposed to the music of Led Zeppelin and Kraftwerk through his musician father (who took him along to see Kraftwerk live in 1975) and with instruments always in the house, started drumming at a very early age. His father later built and ran a recording studio, catering toward the local punk rock scene where Rhys spent a lot of time. In 1984 Rhys started becoming more interested in electronic music and got his first synthesizer. In 1986, he became friends with Bill Leeb who had just left his former band Skinny Puppy.

After producing Paradise Lost's Symbol of Life album, he worked on Delerium's Chimera as one of Leeb's main partners in 2003, and then the two completed Front Line Assembly's Civilization in 2004. Rhys has worked with Scottish band Serpico, producing their self-titled debut EP and debut album, 'Neon Wasteland'. He produced the Canadian hits for singer/songwriter Serena Ryder, new Paradise Lost album, In Requiem. He recently returned to working with Fear Factory, producing their latest album, "Mechanize", and also finished remixes for Rob Zombie and production for the Greek metal band Scar of the Sun. He currently works out of his Surplus Sound studio in Los Angeles, where he completed the third Conjure One album in 2010 and where he is about to record the new Fear Factory album and the new album from Brazilian metal band Optical Faze.
